Specific Claims – Submissions for the 5-Year Review
The Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs (UBCIC), in collaboration with the Assembly of First Nations (AFN), has created a toolkit with templates and information to assist First Nations and other parties in preparing submissions to Canada for their five year review of the Specific Claims Action Plan: Justice at Last.
The Government of Canada (Specific Claims Branch) is preparing a Memorandum to Cabinet (MC) that is expected to be submitted this fall 2012. Claimants and related organizations are encouraged to make submissions using the templates and information that can be accessed on the UBCIC website at http://www.ubcic.bc.ca/issues/SpecificClaims.htm#axzz1zasTFbSy.
We encourage claimants to send their submissions to Canada as soon as possible and, ideally, prior to the end of July 2012. Any submission is better than no submission at all.
Please contact Tonio Sadik at tsadik@afn.ca if you have any questions.
